This Saturday we have one of our biggest events of the year at MBC.\u00a0 Community Day is a massive yard sale (perhaps the biggest so far), combined with games, bouncy things, food and sweat…lots and lots of sweat.<\/p>\n

This year, we’re raising money that will go to our upcoming mission trips to Honduras.\u00a0 We have established a strategic partnership with an orphanage in Honduras as well as with Compassion International<\/a>.\u00a0 We arranged for all of the children our church sponsors to be from a single community in the same area that the ophanage is in.\u00a0 That way, we can actually go to the area and allow our members to work at the orphanage as well as visit with their sponsored children at the same time.<\/p>\n

Community Day also affords us the opportunity to connect with people in our area, hopefully, with the opportunity to welcome them into our church and share the Gospel with them, as well.\u00a0 It is one way that we work out the Great Commission locally and internationally at the same time.<\/p>\n

If you are in or near the Chattanooga area, stop by on Saturday and say hi.\u00a0 If you are a member of MBC, please make plans to be here to help out and to take advantage of a great opportunity to meet and minister to our neighbors.<\/p>\n
